A frangible connector has a first side that forms a female luer when a second side is fractured at a predefined break line. The second side may be connected to a fluid circuit, for example, a source of medical treatment fluid such as dialysate.

A diagnosis method for a conductivity sensor for a dialysis fluid preparation apparatus and personal dialysis apparatus, that mix water, an A fluid and a B fluid in predetermined proportions respectively to prepare a dialysis fluid and measures the concentration of the prepared dialysis fluid by concentration measurement means is described. The diagnosis method and the respective apparatus is based in measuring the A fluid without the B fluid being present in the solution.
